What Technology? Reflections on Evolving Services - Sharon Collins and the 2009 EDUCAUSE Evolving Technologies Committee, EDUCAUSE Review, vol 44/no 6
"As we go forward, I hope we're going to continue to use technology to make really big differences in how people live and work." — Sergey Brin, Google co-founder Ten years ago, when EDUCAUSE established the Evolving Technologies Committee to consider the future of information technologies and how they would drive, or be driven by, educational endeavors, there were no iPods, iPhones, fluid webcam conferencing — and definitely not many thoughts about green computing. Times have indeed changed. Over the years, more services and the enhanced delivery of those services have moved to the forefront in importance. Institutions are now thinking of ways to use past and future technologies to streamline and positively affect these services for teaching and learning, research, and administration. Doing so is a two-way street: technologies need services, and services need technologies to be effective.
